Unusual Police Officer shooting in NC

Media General News Services reported on Sept. 16th that Concord (NC) police officer Quinn Whitherspoon, 34, was fatally shot by his wife. According to the story, Whiterspoon's wife told a Charlotte, NC tv station that she accidentally dropped a rifle as she was bringing it to her husband and as a result a bullet struck him. The couple had three children. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed at Wake Forest University.

 

UPDATE: Today's Charlotte Observer (I don't live in Charlotte, but get the newspaper online) reported that the Concord police officer's wife has been charged with the killing! I think this could be one of these stories that doesn't get picked nationally, but in my view, it should!
